Newsmakers: Senator Alan Lasee
In a Newsmakers interview, Sen. Alan Lasee (R-De Pere) summarized a 36-year career in the Legislature that will end when he does not seek re-election this year. The former Senate president recalled his land-use fights with the state Department of Natural Resources, said how growing campaign spending by special-interest groups has made lawmakers more obligated to those groups, and rated the five governors he has served with since 1975. He called four-term Republican Gov. Tommy G. Thompson the most effective governor, while Republican Gov. Scott McCallum was a “putz.”
